Support for Multiple Genres per Song

[ck100]

I use Media Monkey to manage my music collection and one of the features I really like being able to categorize a song within multiple genres. So for instance, I may categorize AC/DC - Back in Black as Classic Rock, Hard Rock, and Metal. Then when I want to listen to the Classic Rock genre, the song shows up there. But when I want to listen to the Metal genre, it shows up there also.

Currently, the genre for the song appears in Subsonic as:

Classic Rock;Hard Rock;Metal --- which Subsonic considers a unique genre.

It would be nice in the settings if you could select the option to "separate genres by delimiter". In my case, I would add ; as my genre delimiter and then my genres would show and play in Subsonic correctly. I see this as similar to Excel when you import a comma delimited file and select the delimiter.

+1 - I have exactly the same problem, and I use MediaMonkey too Would love to be able to specify a separator in the genre field so that the songs would be tagged with all of them individually, instead of a unique genre. For instance, right now I have a load of files that are "Audiobook;Childrens" and some that are "Childrens;Audiobook" ... quite frustrating.

plus one for this. i use beets to organize my music and let it throw three genres at my songs

Of course this is an obvious feature, and most useful for Genre. However it really should be more general purpose and allow, for instance, multiple artists.

But I still just want to be able to navigate from:
genre -> artist -> album -> song

yes, please add one more request for multiple genre support.

One more victim, in the seemingly eternal struggle to properly categorize music.

New to Subsonic, but I love this project. Supporting multiple genres is key, though, as I have many songs and people in my family search for things in different ways. Yeah, I too use MediaMonkey which is great for categorization, but fails in the server client category and only runs on windoze. Multiple genres could make this the best of both worlds.
